Big Brothers Big Sisters is the nation’s largest donor and volunteer supported mentoring network that seeks to change the lives of children facing adversity by helping “create and support one-to-one mentoring relationships that ignite the power and promise of youth”.
Adults (Bigs) and children (Littles) are matched based on geographic proximity, shared interest and are provided professional support from the Big Brothers Big Sisters Match Support Team. With a Big in their Life, Littles in the Big Brother Big Sisters program are empowered to grow in confidence, improve in academic performance and develop a lifelong meaningful friendship with their Big.
BBBS Columbia Northwest, located in Portland, currently has five times more boys waitlisted for a mentor than girls and are in need of volunteers who identify as men and/or People of Color. Though the organization has mentors who do not look like their mentees, they frequently receive feedback from both parents and youth of color expressing a preference for more BIPOC role models.
This is a great opportunity to get involved and make a positive impact in the lives of our youth. If you are interested in learning more about the program and what it takes to become a Big please visit the following website: https://itsbigtime.org/become-a-big/
 Have you checked to see if you have any unclaimed property with the Oregon State Treasury? Companies, nonprofits, and government agencies across the state are required to report and remit unclaimed property, such as uncashed checks, unreturned deposits, forgotten bank accounts, and more, to the Oregon State Treasury.
Last year, the Treasury launched the website unclaimed.oregon.gov to help return unclaimed property to Oregonians. Over $471 million has been returned to Oregonians throughout the state.
Visit unclaimed.oregon.gov, search your name, and select “Claim” to see if you have any unclaimed property.
Remember that my office can connect constituents to services and help navigate state agency systems. Please don’t hesitate to call or email with any questions or problems you are experiencing. My office may be able to help, or connect you to someone who can.
Sincerely,
 Representative Barbara Smith Warner
